2026 marks the 65th anniversary of Beasley Media Group. The company has announced plans to celebrate the milestone throughout the year.
As part of its 65th anniversary plans, the company says it will be “highlighting key moments from its history, celebrating the people and markets that define the company, and reinforcing its strategic vision for continued growth.”
“Reaching 65 years is a testament to the resilience, creativity, and dedication of the people who make Beasley Media Group what it is today,” said Beasley Media Group CEO Caroline Beasley. “While we are incredibly proud of our legacy, this milestone is equally about where we are headed- continuing to evolve, embrace innovation, and strengthen the local connections that have always set us apart.”
The company has set the theme for the commemoration as “65 Strong: Forward Together”, which it says reflects it pasts and focuses on its future, as well.
